Fantastic. Abolish the LANDs and restore the 18 regions with proper federalism.
Fortunately, the LANDs don't control the areas that they claim and all we need is Mogadishu to make it official and recognize #Hiraan, #Sool, #Sanaag, #Awdal and #Bari.
BREAKING: Ali Jeeyte, the Governor of #Hiraan Region declares that the liberated province is not part of #Hirshabelle State anymore!
Controlling 6 districts while #Hirshabelle controls only 2 districts, he called for a consultation conference on Hiraanโs future.
There was a precedent, #Gedo Region was the first to opt out of #Jubaland State after the city-administration of #Kismayo unilaterally declared itself as the sole legitimate authority.
A year into the current administration, fault lines between federalism & unitary structures have grown deeper that foreseen.
@Kaarbaash Berbera port deal was signed by the corrupt administration of Hassan Sheikh. The sub-clan enclave "Somaliland" can't sign anything.

@HEhassansheikh This is UAE's minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash saying that your corrupt administration signed an agreement with the UAE and allowed the UAE to take over our ports in northern Somalia (Berbera & Bosaso)
The best system for us is a parliamentary system where parties campaign to get to the parliament and the parliament will rule Somalia just like the UK or Finland. This will also solve the problem of clans fighting over the presidency because we will all rule and share power.
Somalis should oppose a presidential system because ๐
1- Individuals will campaign and failed politicians will resort to clan-politics. Also, many of them serve foreigners.
2- The executive power will be with just one individual, and clans will fight for the presidency.
Somalia must stick with parliamentary system of democracy itโs the only cure to the sickness that bedevilled the country ie clanism. Parties compete on based ideological differences.

โ๏ธThe Nationalist aka patriots (believe in equal Somalia for all irregardless of clan)
โ๏ธThe clanists (They advocate for clan identity to be the basis of governance resource sharing etc.
โ๏ธThe Islamist who believe Somalia to be land of all Muslims and every Muslims can have a stake at the country
Call it Parliament or Congress the headspresident or PM aka head of the executive should be should be answerable to the legislative arm of government.
The majority party in parliament and their flag bearer form the govt the party can withdraw the President or PM.
America the executive is under the legislative arm and it depends on congressional approval on anything. If you want to go with presidential them. CBB
While we're busy with Clanism, Ethiopia is rising and the international community won't save us. If we don't unite, then we will be annexed or turned into an Ethiopian protectorate. We will be screaming from abroad like the Ukrainians, Palestinians and Kurds "Free Somalia".
Many Somalis are emotional people who can't think strategically. For example, they supported Abiy Ahmad against the TPLF without thinking about his goals. This guy wants a strong, centralized and industrialized Ethiopian.
Ethiopia to dismantle regional special forces in favour of 'centralized Govt Army'.
This is something that Somalia suppose to do & should do. Dismantle all state forces (Somaliland, Jubaland, Galmudug, Hirshabele, Southwest, Puntland, & SSC-Khatumo). #Somalia#Somali#Mogadishu
Ironically, the clan secessionists "Somaliland' will benefit the most from Somaliweyn by having access to 1 million km2 of land and 1 million km2 of ocean, but now they became confined to their small clan territory that lacks natural resources and strategic importance.
The low IQ clan secessionists think that rejecting #Somaliweyn will bring recognition to their clan enclave and rule the north without realizing that the only alternative to #Somaliweyn is (Each clan and sub-clan will rule it's own territories). You won't rule the north.
#SSC, #Banadir, #Hiiraan, #Bari, #Awdal and #Gedo must be recognized by #Mogadishu. Communities have the right to govern themselves and let Mogadishu handle national and foreign affairs. No clan or sub-clan will rule over others.
Somalia is sovereign only one paper because our sea, land and air are under foreign control, but soon Somalia won't even be sovereign on paper.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but all federal states must follow Puntland's path and cut all ties with Hassan and his gang.
@HassanSMohamud is committing a treasonous act that Somalia will never recover from. If Somalia joins the EAC, then economic, political and security policies will be dictated by the EAC. This will be the beginning of the end of Somalia.
Ironically, warlord Musa Bihi is from Xarshin in the Somali region of Ethiopia aka Ogaden. If we use the logic of the clan secessionists and use colonial borders, then Bihi is an Ethiopian who needs to be deported.
Abiy Ahmad take your people back ๐
Somalis have two options.
1-A united #Somalia.
2-A disintegrated #Somalia into clans and sub-clans.
Whatever option we take, the people of #SSC will never be ruled by #Hargeisa.
The clan secessionists "Somaliland" must get rid of the clan expansion mentality.
#SSCGENOCIDE.
@US2SOMALIA The US should only deal with the Somali federal government and avoid legitimized warlords, such as Musa Bihi and Ahmad Madobe because that will prolong the chaos and restart the civil war.
@US2SOMALIA This act is not treating "Somaliland" differently from other states in Somalia, but the mere mention of "Somaliland" is problematic because you're emboldening the clan secessionists into attacking their neighbors in Sool, Sanaag and Cayn.
@US2SOMALIA What rule of law? Stop insulting our intelligence. You're supporting illegitimate clan enclaves, such as "Somaliland" that don't care about Somali or international law. You're partially responsible for the genocide in #Laascaanood because you've emboldened the secessionists.
